Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 82) to amend title II of the Social Security Act to repeal the Government pension offset and windfall elimination provisions.
This resolution is a procedural measure that allows the House of Representatives to consider H.R. 82, a bill that would eliminate two provisions affecting Social Security benefits: the Government Pension Offset and the Windfall Elimination Provision. The resolution sets the rules for debate, limiting discussion to one hour total and allowing one motion to recommit before a final vote. The bill primarily affects current and future retirees who also receive government pensions, such as former federal employees, teachers, and police officers, many of whom have seen their Social Security benefits reduced under the current law. The resolution waives standard procedural objections to speed up consideration of the legislation but does not itself change any laws or authorize any spending. This is simply a House floor procedure measure submitted on August 6, 2024, that enables the full chamber to vote on the substantive Social Security reform bill.
